Doublequotes as replacement in replace() method

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 22.2005

I’m trying to replace all instances of the string " in a textbox with doublequotes (“), so that [COLOR=DarkRed]"text"[/COLOR] gets [COLOR=DarkRed]“text”[/COLOR]

I get not further than replacing the string with single quotes; because the replace-text withing the replace()-method has to be in doublequotes itself:

[CODE]var Searchterm = document.forms[0].q.value
var SearchtermConv = Searchterm.replace(/"/g, “‘”);
document.forms[0].q.value = SearchtermConv;[/CODE]

The above works for singlequotes. How can I convert to doublequotes?
[COLOR=DarkRed]Searchterm.replace(/"/g, “[B][COLOR=Red]“[/COLOR][/B]“);[/COLOR] doesn’t work

@deep_dhyaniDec 22.2005 — do that:

[code]
var SearchtermConv = Searchterm.replace(""", "'");

@PlinkauthorDec 22.2005 — deep.dhyani, this can't work since it doesn't find the desired string and if it did it would replace it with a singlequote.

Thanks Fang, that worked perfectly. Escaping does the trick.

Success!
